Thanks to all the nice wines that we could taste and all the information to prep for the exam. Let’s hope we nailed it!

I completed WSET level 3 in English and the learning process was fun and highly engaging. Wouter prepared us very well for a challenging and demanding examination and helped us to get rid of the fear of blind tasting. He is an excellent tutor with deep knowledge in wine who goes above and beyond with his teaching methods, from choosing incredible wines to sharing some extra bits of knowledge outside the curriculum to keep us excited about wines. Finally the premises of the academy are impeccable and in very central location in Amsterdam. Strongly recommended!

This has been one of the most constructive and rich learning experiences I could have imagined for a WSET Level 3 provider. The teacher (Wouter) was so helpful in supplementing the standardised and necessary knowledge of the WSET with rich information and context about the world of wine! He was an excellent tutor and instructor in tasting as well, offering us some unique tasting samples and experiences and accompanying as we explore and expand our palate. The environment of the AWA is also very friendly and approachable, an excellent space and place to sit, learn, and taste. I will cherish this learning experience for the years to come and I will miss the AWA and Wouter. Thank you AWA :) Borna Jurašić15/04/2025Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Had an amazing time with Wouter. Tasted some exceptional wines.

Nu tijd om met deze theoretische basis verder te gaan ontdekken. De lesavonden zijn uiterst interessant, 3 uur lijkt fors maar de tijd vliegt tijdens de enthousiaste manier van lesgeven door Wouter. Dank voor de inspirerende avonden.
